[@Aureilius2112]

Fanboys that are crying about Vader having to actually fight aren’t giving Cere any respect. She is clearly an extremely powerful Jedi Master and probably one of the few who would give Vader a decent fight. She isn’t some Padawan from the clone wars, she was a full fledged master before Order 66.

[@Dan1el7493]

They be acting like he's a god, he's still Anakin burnt in a suit, the emperor nerfed him in purpose, even the grand inquisitor gave him a good fight If he was feared, it was for killing especially random Jedis, who also gave him a good duel in the comics, he rarely killed Jedis like Cere or Obi Wan

Exactly! And they’re acting like this isn’t a rematch and she hasn’t had 5 years to prepare for it.

@@Dan1el7493 Just saying: the emperor nerfing him is Legends and the Grand Inquisitor did not gave him a good fight. Vader was just testing his new suit (which was literally said during the duel) and ended it quickly after that.

[@warmice4136]

I do agree, Cere is obviously immensely powerful, especially taking into consideration her Jedi master rank, but there are a few things about the fight that bothered me from a lore perspective. The first is that vader's suit is fireproof, so him being damaged by the eruption of flame doesn't make much sense. The second is that in the Kenobi series, Vader is shown to be equal at least to obi wan kenobi in power, if not stronger. He lasts much less long against Cere than against Obi Wan, and I personally think that that doesn't really make sense. Vader is more skilled and has more raw power than Cere, and I personally choose to believe the headcanon that he just underestimated her because she was so weak last time they fought. Cere is certainly a powerful Jedi though, don't get me wrong.

[@legendaryseph9406]

I think what I love the most about this fight is how they did Vader’s lightsaber combat. Very rarely is the actual moves so eye catching that it actually draws my attention to them and not just when and how to react. Every movement and action of Vader’s feels immaculate, purposeful, each swing and strike leading into the next. On phase 3 it shifts into double time, he never stops except for brief moments, he mixes in force enhanced strikes with his normal ones without even changing the stance which if we didn’t have the red shift we’d be hit with something we wouldn’t be able to block completely unexpectedly. They truly make him a master lightsaber combatant and his lightsaber fighting actually looks like a true master of sword fighting.

[@crusom6771]

and to be honest we can see his Djem So that is mix of slow and fast FCKN BIG swings in the most part but in the phase 3 he mixes it with some great riposte's and remises

Was a good fight, Cere really didnt stand a chance until she surprised him with that bookcase explosion. Very well played. Since she couldn't over power him she had to play smart. Without the bookcase moment vader would have toyed with her until he eventually killed her

[@v12ts.gaming]

Well, in the end, even when you defeat him, we can't change the fact that Vader still kills her anyway...

[@A.jmmmm04]

Vader struggled imo, because he underestimated Cere. He wanted cere to use Cere's fear against her, yet she tamed the darkside, meaning she conqured her fears because of vader torturing her. We see in the beginning he used one hand to fight, then when he got annoyed, he switched to two hands, and outsmarted cere because she got too confident which lead to her demise.

[@MCSPARTAN501]

It's interesting that Cere outsmarted Vader too by luring Vader into a position where she can drop a flaming bookcase on him. That weakened him so that even if he fought seriously, Cere would still have a serious chance of winning. And then Vader used Cere's overconfidence against her.

[@davidianhowe]

This is a great take

[@brianlafontaine3111]

Yk Vader took Cere serious when he had two hands on that lightsaber during the clash. This hit me right in the feels I loved cere, I knew the outcome was going to happen but denial had me in delusion until she went for the "kill." When he was stuck she should've ran man!

[@travisvanalst4698]

To Vader lovers (not derogatory): he toyed with her at the beginning and got hurt after she outsmarted him and dropped a few tons of rubble on him. Had he come out swinging right from the get go, Cere would have lost rather quickly. Cere is exceptionally powerful but she knew even she couldn’t take him head on. She worked a plan together while fighting Vader and it hurt him. After that moment we see a big difference in the fight where it’s equal between the two. Vader won (obviously) but he seems to toy with people before actually fighting them. He did the same thing with Obi Wan in the series as well. A few stumbles and Vader still walked away from Cere. It’s ok if Vader takes a hit every now and then. He’s still the most menacing figure in Star Wars lol.

[@J99___]

Idk why anyone is mad that Vader struggled here. Cere is a jedi master pre-order 66. She also fought Vader once before so she had time to prepare. Ofcourse cere would never beat Vader, but injuring him is valid. Vader gets injured a lot, especially in the books. The scary thing about him isn’t just that he’s powerful, it’s that he’ll always come back even from the brink. He can get chopped into pieces, burned alive, stabbed, shot, etc. but he’ll just walk back up to you ready for more. Cere exploded an entire wall on him, and he just pushed it all away. She slams him to the ground as he’s burning, and he still was able to expertly move to stab her to death. Vader is a monster who won’t stop until he’s dead. You can’t let your guard down for even a second. He’ll see any form of weakness, and if you have any fear you might as well run.

Challenge? bro Cere was no challenge to Vader, Vader was toying with her like he does with all his other opponents, he has underestimated a few like Cere But overall Cere was no where close to his level or even giving him a challenge.

[@lhd23]

@@eagle8760 Vader had to work to beat her, she put up a better fight than almost any other Jedi that Vader fought post-Purge, Cere here showed power equivalent to the upper half of Jedi Council Masters.

[@eagle8760]

@@lhd23 Bro.. Right when you said “she put up a better fight than any other Jedi that Vader fought post-purge” that’s when I knew your argument became invalid. Vader never put any work in bro, he toyed with her at first, then got crushed by some rubble, threw that shit off him like nothing and then outplayed her and killed her. Let’s not forget that gameplay doesn’t count as feats or anything. 2. Many Jedi in the comics put a better fight than Cere, and are we just forgetting about Obi Wan and Luke? The only two Jedi who actually brought him close to death. I mean like actual death. I don’t know if you’re joking or not but, she didn’t show any power equivalent to the upper half of the Jedi council. Not even close, she got crushed so fast, and she wasn’t even close in crushing him. Edit: I didn’t even see your grand inquisitor take.. I just saw it and bro no way you said this… The Grand Inquisitor was literally a Jedi Temple Guard.. The Grand Inquisitor would easily defeat Cere.

[@Vegito_Fanpage]

I've honestly never seen a game capture the essence of Darth Vader better than this. His slow, deliberate yet limited movements, the fact that while limited in mobility, you can tell just how much force is behind them, the way he is forced to slowly clamber up after dealing the finishing blow because he's in such an awkward position.

I think it's good to see that while Vader & his inquisitors were hunting jedi they encountered some ppl that actually put up a good fight.

[@rodinefe1910]

After the archives coming down on him Vader started to use his real potential. For anyone saying he was inch from defeat, they are force users he was fully aware of where the lightsaber would hit. It isn't just random luck and even after that vader might look he has no energy but the truth is if they spawned a another cere right there that fight would even be shorter (because he is taking cere seriously this time) and end in absolute victory

Honestly seeing how powerful Cere has become ever since being tossed aside like a fly by Vader in the last game was awesome

My favorite thing about Vader is how he always starts his fights with only one hand holding the saber. He's holding back at first but after Cere damaged him, he began fighting more aggressively with two hands on the saber. This is exactly why I love his fight with Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back. He did the exact same thing. This fight was amazing! Peak Star Wars Moment for sure!!

[@callumrangan1061]

[@iamchrispaezjr]

Because she’s a former Jedi master who cut herself off from the force, and she eventually learned to let go of her fear. Canonically, this fits with the established lore. The Dark Side is a quick and addictive way of reaching power, while the light side is slower and non-addictive, but the same results can be achieved. She’s just as powerful as Vader, but Vader’s conviction (and plot armor), allows him to always win. Doesn’t mean he’s invincible, just ask Obi-Wan.

[@jaegar2786]

Everything thinks that “Oh Cere could not stand more than second against Vader,” to that I say psh! True Jedi masters that truly let go of their fear would give Darth Vader and Darth Sidous a run for their money. It’s sort of alludes to the fact of how the light side prevails against the dark side. For all the Siths power they can fall to ones with lesser abilities.

[@sebas8225]

Darth Maul had a similar problem in one of the comics when he fought against a mere Padawan the moment she became one with the force he started struggling. Thats because Stamina wise a Jedi who awakened their full potential and survive the initial full power sith attacks can very easily win the fight altogether as the Sith will keep getting weaker and tired during the fight from tapping into the dark side, but the Jedi who tap into the force naturally can keep doing so for far longer.

The thing I like about this is you can notice the power in Vaders form.
